The Grand Vitara CNG's only rival when it makes its debut will be its sibling, the Hyryder CNG. The Grand Vitara CNG and Hyryder CNG's successful sales may inspire other manufacturers to create CNG versions of their own compact SUV models.
Maruti Grand Vitara has attained a market share of more than 20%. Grand Vitara placed third in October sales with 8,052 cars sold. Grand Vitara stands an excellent chance of unseating Seltos and even Creta from their position as the game's dominant player if it can maintain its current rate of play.

Sales of the Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder as a pair have already overtaken those of the Seltos and are only somewhat trailing those of the Creta. The Hyryder and Grand Vitara are both getting ready to provide a compressed natural gas (CNG) alternative, which might be the final push they require to grab the lead in the small SUV market.
